No. 04-15-00512-CV
IN RE LOWE'S HOME CENTERS, LLC
Original Mandamus Proceeding1
ORDER
Sitting: Marialyn Barnard, Justice
Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice
Jason Pulliam, Justice
On August 18, 2015, relator Lowe’s Home Centers, LLC, filed a petition for writ of
mandamus complaining of the trial court’s order, signed July 24, 2015, granting plaintiff’s
motion to sever the intervenor’s claims in the underlying personal injury lawsuit into a separate
cause of action. The record before this court reflects that the trial court has deferred ruling on
relator’s motion to reconsider the order granting severance until a further hearing scheduled for
August 26, 2015 at 8:30 a.m. See MR 76. This mandamus proceeding is TEMPORARILY
ABATED pending the trial court’s ruling on relator’s motion to reconsider the challenged order.
Relator is requested to file an advisory in this court no later than August 28, 2015,
notifying this court of any further ruling on relator’s motion to reconsider.
The petition for writ of mandamus and expedited motion for stay of trial remain pending
before this court.
It is so ORDERED on August 20, 2015.
